THOSE DOUBTFUL DON'T, by                    
First Line: My parents told me not to smoke; / I don't
Last Line: You wouldn't think I have much fun; / I don't
Subject(s): Boredom;virtue; Ennui


My parents told me not to smoke;
I don't:
Nor listen to a naughty joke;
I don't.
They told me it was wrong to wink
At handsome men, or even think
About intoxicating drink;
I don't.
To dance or flirt is very wrong;
I don't.
Wild girls chase men and wine and song;
I don't.
I kiss no men, not even one --
In fact, I don't know how it's done;
You wouldn't think I have much fun;
I don't.
